“List of Zionist authors.”
“List of Zionist figure skaters.”
“List of Zionist [insert profession].”
Then you look for why these people are being added to shunning lists & it’s “showed compassion on October 7th” or “is Jewish & once visited Israel as a teenager.”

Without fail, every single post about antisemitism faced by Diaspora Jews is flooded with replies that can be summed up as, "The baby killer demon Jew rats deserve it because they poison every country they go to. Zionazis must be eliminated by any means necessary."
Every Time.
96% of Jews in 13 EU countries say they experience antisemitism daily, an uptick since the Israel-Gaza war began.

Ah, the duality of being Jewish.
Targeted for genocide to the tune of 6 million murdered for NOT being white.
Told many decades later it wasn't REALLY that bad & people just act like it was because we apparently ARE white.
(meanwhile, white supremacists continue to target us)
Adolf Hitler is only considered the most evil man in history because his victims were white. On the barometer of evil men historically, he doesn't even crack the top 10.

I'm sorry but this is just new levels of batshit.
Apparently, antisemitism only exists in Europe because Jews are a concept formed in the "psyche" of others, and the "figure of the 'Jew'" doesn't exist in the Global South.
This woman is a professor...
...of German philosophy.
@SikhFeminist
People in the Global South have no figure of the 'Jew' in their psyche, around which anything like 'antisemitism' could form. It's a white European Christian archetype, as you say. It's THEIR neurosis, for which others are being made to pay.

No, antisemitism does not "apply to Arabs too."
The term 'antisemitism' was coined specifically to describe hatred of Jews as a racialized group because 19th-century European racists felt that 'Judenhaas' just didn't sound "scientific" enough.
🧐 not seeing anything from any of the politicians who condemn antisemitism in reaction to things that aren’t actual instances of antisemitism. That’s odd. Do they not know antisemitism applies to Arabs too?

Regardless of your stance on Zionism as it has manifested historically & presently, this is an unacceptable mixture of bias & revisionism specifically as it depends on erasing Jewish ethnic identity to paint Ashkenazim as inherently European & Jewish history as religious mythos.

For a lot of the "anti-Hillel" folks, wanting Jews to "throw away the lifeline to [our] culture" is a feature, not a bug.
They tell themselves it's "anti-Zionist, not antisemitic" bc hey, they have no problem with Jews...so long as we're properly assimilated & acculturated.
Sure, you protest pro-Bibi or settlement speakers. You might have a heated debate. You might bring some anti-Zionist, or pro-Palestine perspectives. But most places you can't afford to throw away the lifeline to your culture.

Judaism is a closed initiatory ethnoreligion. By joining, one becomes part of a people, not just a religious practice. You can't just decide to be Jewish all on your own.
Judaism is also orthopraxic. "Walking in/with faith" is an incredibly Christian concept, not a Jewish one.

These lists become more disturbing when you realize that to the creators, "Zionist" has no concrete meaning.
They're NOT listing ppl supporting the war.
Authors are added for the "crime" of mentioning Israeli relatives or calling for ceasefire but NOT the destruction of Israel.
Making lists with Jewish authors and putting any who refuses to turn their back on their Jewish heritage/connection to the land of Judea or any who acknowledges Israeli humanity into an evil “Zionist” category is progressive antisemitism. Disguising it doesn’t change anything.

Both Jews & Palestinians can trace our origin back to Canaanites who were actually several ethnic groups.
Y’all have GOT to stop treating religious origin myth as fact when it suits you & framing Israel/Palestine as analogous to European colonialism.

@nadiaaakd
Canaan is the historical name. Israel is a new invented name to drive out the indigenous people of Palestine

"Maybe once you admit..."
Truly WILD to accuse a queer disabled Jew of erasing gentile victims when every Jewish-run Holocaust museum explicitly honors ALL victims of Nazis.
But yt gentile queers need to understand tht genocide was the Nazi goal for two groups: Jews & Roma.

Maybe once you admit including non-Jews in the discussion doesn’t exclude Jews, and that I was responding to and agreeing with a post that says Naziism didn’t exist in a void—that history shows many people supported their bigotry and it’s dangerous to ignore that.

I’ve identified myself as a non-Zionist for the better part of a decade. Anyone who knows me IRL or follows me on here knows that I want a future of liberation, justice & equality for Jews and Palestinians in our shared homeland.
This still terrifies me as a visibly Jewish man.
When a student organizer at Columbia proudly declares on the internet that we should be grateful that they're “not just going out and murdering Zionists,” listen to Jewish students when we tell you we’re terrified.

This.
Netanyahu is a fascistic genocidal warmonger.
He is NOT a Nazi.
That word has an actual meaning and history.
There is no need to minimize the Holocaust to call out the horrors being presided over by Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and their supporters.
Netanyahu isn't a Nazi. That makes no sense. If you HAVE to compare him to someone, he's more like Slobodan Milošević, though I doubt anyone under 40 even knows who that is without looking it up; but calling Bibi a Nazi is just proof of how disingenuous and unserious you are.

1) You're confusing origin myth with history. Israelite society, and thus Jews, emerged FROM Canaanite society.
2) Even in Exodus, if you could be bothered to do more than watch TikToks from people who ALSO haven't read it, narrates Jews first going TO Egypt FROM Canaan.

Ah yes, “Collective punishment and ethnic cleansing are Good Actually when they’re agaisnt the (((people I don’t like))).”
No to ANY ethnic cleansing.
No to bloodthirsty rubberneckers who don’t care fuck all for creating an actual just & equal future.
No one is going anywhere.

Sephardic Jews literally did EXACTLY this when they were expelled from Spain.
And going back to the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora, our people never "moved on" from our desire to return home to Eretz Yisrael, why would we expect it of others?
Millions of refugees from a tremendous number of conflicts and crises did not do this, and that enabled them to emotionally and materially move on.

This exactly.
Hell, the greatest compassion I received post 10/7 was FROM Palestinian friends.
The worst antisemitism we are seeing infiltrate ceasefire protests is NOT coming from Palestinians.
The ppl who need to take out their trash are (predominantly white) Westerners.

There are a lot of things I don’t expect from people just trying to survive unimaginable violence and trauma. But I do expect those things from white dudes tweeting from Ohio.

I'm sorry but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
"Yes, we are visually marking students and setting up checkpoints to restrict movement by those deemed Undesirable."
Does no one in leadership of this protest have even the smallest conceptualization of either intent-focused action or OPTICS?
Wristbands are being used to identify anti-Israel students at
@UCLA
so that they are allowed to enter Royce Quad, Royce Hall, and Powell Library.
Some students are allowed in and out, others are kept out. This is ILLEGAL and UCLA is not just tolerating it but facilitating it.

Shame on The Guardian for this headline.
The words "13-year-old" and "sex work" should never appear in the same sentence.
The word you are looking for is 'sex trafficking' and 'sexual slavery.'
They are not "workers."
They are children.
They are victims.

If your Jewish experience has been one where white gentiles have NOT consistently treated you as Other, that's fantastic.
But that experience cannot be projected to all Jews w/lighter skin.
Many of us are no strangers to being unwelcome. It is, as you say, NOT a new experience.
Have some awareness that for lots of people, this is not a new experience. And as
@LeoFergusonnyc
said recently about white Jews newly finding certain spaces uncomfortable/less welcoming: “Welcome to the party. You could have a lot of allies here.”

The argument Graham is trying to make completely undermines transphobes’ favorite talking point: The claim that trans women have extreme “biological advantage” in sports even after HRT.
Either testosterone gives Super Sports Power OR it leads to needing mobility aids.
Not both.

Every year on Yom HaShoah, thousands of gentiles who ignored International Holocaust Remebrabce Day on January 27th, and who don’t even know what August 2nd or the Porajmos is, take to Twitter to accuse Jews of “hogging” the Holocaust.
You’re not subtle.
We see you.

There are so many horrifying photos and videos coming out of Gaza. There is more than enough evidence to make the righteousness of demanding a ceasefire abundantly clear.
So what do people gain by trying to pass off photos from Syria or AI-generated crap as images from Gaza?

Yes.
Jews, Palestinians, Samaritans, Druze, & other ethnic groups have shared roots & long histories in the same land.
You can white-girl-emoji-facepalm, but it won't change the fact that real liberation, justice, & peace will not come from ethnically cleansing ANYONE.

The number of replies and QRTs on that post saying Jews are indigenous to Brooklyn is just…Do the Lenape people just not exist to these folks?
Or do they apply their ridiculous belief that forced displacement and diaspora erases a people’s historic roots to them too?

This is the level of "discourse" a good 80% of people I see talking about Israel and Palestine on this site are at.
No concern for actual people.
No ideas about the future.
Definitely no historical literacy.
Just endless garbage about who has a "right" to eat fucking hummus.

These lists are (as far as I have seen) made by people with no personal connection to the Levant or stake in the conflict for whom the sum total of their activism amounts to resurrecting McCarthyism and trying to shun people who they decide have fallen short of their "standards."
